Additionally, with the new long-term warranties that most building owners desire (10 years +), you are contractually respon- sible to perform annual (or semi-annual) roof inspections and the associated repairs in order to maintain the terms of your extend- ed warranty. These reports should be filed with records of the corrective work that has been performed. There are numerous roof management database programs available to help streamline this process (see “New tools help owners track roofing assets,” later in this Guide).
